lyrics

I can't believe I have to say this so many ways
I'm watching these tapes on repeat, day after day
And I don't know know how to fight this with anything but rage
And I never thought the world would look like this

You can listen to a thousand feel-good songs, and still feel like shit
You'll be making up for everyone else's wrongs, and be worse off for it
Waisting all your breath, 'til every emotion's gone
And I never thought real life would look like this

I wanted more from this by now
I deserved more from this by now
But here I am, smiling for the pictures, crying in the car

We're screaming all our lungs out, but fear is leading blind
Hoping the horrible truth would finally change this time
Until another sacred life is savagely left behind
And I don't want my friends to hurt like this

You needed more from this by now
You deserved more from this by now
But here you are, choking on the smoke clouds,
Running for your lives

I'm starting fights with myself
When there's no one else around
And I've lost track of the last time my feet were on the ground
And I've never tried so hard to block out all these sounds
And I never thought that hell would feel like this

We needed more from this by now
We deserved more from this by now
But here we are, trying to be captains
While this ship is going down

And I keep trying to swim for shore
But I'm not too sure what I'm good for anymore
And I keep trying to find the next thing to reach for
But I'm afraid it's already gone

It's already gone
